Legends of Runeterra

Leaning against the stone wall, Li En was alert to the surrounding environment, and from time to time he looked towards Ahri, who was curled up on a thick blanket and sleeping soundly not far away.

She had been sitting there for nearly two hours, ever since she absorbed the light.

For fear of disturbing Ali, Li En didn't say anything. He just looked at the saliva flowing from the corners of her mouth. He wondered whether Ali was receiving knowledge inheritance or was really asleep.

Suddenly, Ali's tail moved, and without even opening his eyes, he habitually moved his tail to his side.

"what!"

Having touched nothing, Ahri woke up immediately and quickly got up.

"Leon! Leon!"

"Ahri, I'm here!"

Li En [Instant Step] came to Ahri and rubbed the ears of this stupid fox. Ahri took the opportunity to jump into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Woo~! I thought you left alone!"

"I think you are confused after sleeping. I clearly said before that I would help you to be on guard. How could I abandon you?"

Ahri nuzzled against his chest, raised her head and said with a flattering smile: "Oh! I accidentally forgot!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How are you absorbing that knowledge?"

"Hehe, although there is a lot of content, I remembered it all, and I also learned a very powerful magic!"

"real!?"

"Of course. If you don't believe me, I'll show you!"

"Wait, don't you want me to move out of the way?"

"No need, Li En, just watch!"

Ahri stood up from the embrace and took a few steps back to stand.

"Om~!"

Light pink magic power gradually surged up, enveloping Ahri, and then her figure gradually changed and shrank.

"Shua~!"

A little fox with a snow-white body and nine tails broke through the magic shield and pounced towards Li En.

Seeing this, Li En subconsciously reached out to catch it.

"嘤嘤嘤~!"

The nine-tailed white fox excitedly arched its back and forth in Li En's arms, and then put its paws on Li En's shoulders and gently licked Li En's face like the ice fox before.

Holding the fox's head, Li En looked at the other party with a puzzled look on his face.

"Ahri, is this the magic you mentioned?"

"嘤嘤嘤~!"

The nine-tailed white fox nodded, and then Li En felt a thought coming towards him.

Realizing that it was the white fox in front of him, Li En connected with it.

"How is it? How is it? Li En, I'm awesome, right?"

"Yeah, it's really cute. It's the most beautiful fox I've ever seen!"

"Hehe, there are still many magics in the inheritance that Lord Ivern gave me! As long as I learn them all, I will become very powerful!"

"That's right, my Ahri is the best!"

Rubbing Ahri's chin in fox form, Li En praised without hesitation.

"嘤嘤嘤~!"

...

Ionia Galle Province.

Compared to Shangzan, which is almost at the same latitude as Freljord, the province of Galen, which is already in late March, is full of greenery and vitality.

A handsome young man with black hair and black eyes was walking on a country road, holding a strange white fox in his arms.

With a light tap of his feet, the whole person floated four or five meters away, and Li En moved quickly in the direction indicated by Ivern.

As we moved forward, we saw more and more traces of human activities on the road.

When Li En stopped, what appeared before his eyes was a group of magnificent and ancient buildings built on cliffs.

Looking at the temple with a familiar feeling, Li En rubbed Ali and walked along the road towards the guarding monks.

"Please stop, this is the Shuoji Temple's place of meditation, outsiders..."

When the leading monk saw Li En's appearance clearly, his originally fluent words paused slightly.

After carefully observing Li En from head to toe, the monk asked.

"Sir, may I ask your name?"

"My name is Li En. I hope to go in and pay my respects. Master, can you..."

"Wow, Senior Brother Luo Mao, it really is him!"

"The person the Great Elder mentioned is here!"

"Sure enough, he has an extraordinary appearance!"

"Quiet!"

Luo Mao turned around and chuckled, and several young monks immediately became obedient. Then he turned around and bowed to Li En.

"Mr. Li En, the Great Elder has instructed that when you arrive at this temple, you should go see him as soon as possible. Please..."

"Of course, Master Luo Mao, please lead the way!"

"I don't deserve to be called the master. Just call me Luo Mao!"

He arranged for a monk to use a flying bird to deliver a message and told the other monks to keep good guard. Then Luo Mao took Li En along the mountain road.

...

At the beginning, Luo Mao was worried that Li En could not keep up, so he walked very slowly.

But as he gradually increased his speed to the fastest, Li En was still extremely relaxed and even had the mood to appreciate the mountain scenery.

"As expected, he is the person that the Great Elder arranged to meet!"

Luo Mao sighed inwardly.

"By the way, Senior Brother Luo Mao, Shuoji Temple is a famous temple for martial monks. Why did you arrange so many monks to guard it? Is it just to wait for me?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Mao slowed down and maintained the most relaxed pace.

"Yes and no. On the one hand, the Great Elder told us a week ago that you would come. On the other hand, the Vastaya tribe living in Kui Lin has recently begun to use violent means. For safety reasons, we have strengthened our guards!"

Upon hearing the news about 'Vastaya', Ahri immediately perked up and gently scratched Li En's chest in his arms.

Li En understood what Ali meant, rubbed her chin, and continued to ask Luo Mao.

"I see. Then, Senior Brother, do you know which tribe of Vastaya this is?"

"According to the refugees we took in, the group of Vastaya included people from all ethnic groups. They were under the slogan 'Release the essence of nature and restore Vastaya', and the personnel were quite mixed."

"Oh? I wonder if there are any fox-type Vastaya?"

"Foxes? I've never heard of them, but there is a bird-like Vastaya who is very famous. He is very powerful and has even been given the nickname 'Purple Crow'."

"'Purple Crow'? I see. Thank you, Brother!"

...

Under the leadership of Luo Mao, the two men and the fox arrived at a simple pavilion located in the center of the lotus pond.

The spring water gushing out from the cracks in the stone wall fell into the pool, making a "splashing" sound.

An old monk, about 1.6 meters tall, who looked a little thin under his loose monk robe, was admiring the scenery in the distance with his back to them.

After hearing the footsteps, he slowly turned around. His gray beard hung to his chest. His face looked old, but his eyes were bright.

"Great Elder, this is Mr. Li En!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Luo Mao, go down and have a rest first!"

After Luo Mao bowed and left, the elder looked at Li En.

"My name is Li En, nice to meet the Great Elder!"

"Your Excellency, there is no need to do this!"

The Great Elder fluttered his sleeves, and an invisible force prevented Li En from saluting.
